The place is always packed and there’s usually a wait but it’s easy to understand why people love the pies at Piece. The New Haven style thin-crust pizzas can be customized with red or white sauce and topped with an enormous list of ingredients including mashed potatoes, artichoke hearts, broccoli, clams, meatballs, and more. Plus it's basically across the street from Evolution Music!

Chicago Deep Dish pizza outside of downtown in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. With exposed brick and plasma-screen TVs, Pequod's is firmly a neighborhood bar. But Pequod's is a bar that serves some of the best pizza in the city.
